When i was a young lad, me and some friends used to visit this wood and do the usual "adventure" stuff, make a denn, build a fire and cook our tins of beans lol.
I see this small wood everyday while i drive to work, so i thought it was about time i paid a visit again.
After crossing the 4 fields to get there, i could'nt believe my eyes to see the ground was coverd in Bluebells .

But of course,being all mature and grown up now,we must refer to them as hides now,rather than 'dens'
Very nice image Alan

Justin - forum rules forbid me to say what I used to do in Bluebell Wood
Alan, you've captured the scene beautifully - and not a semi-naked girl to be seen anywhere
Nice one

Good photo Alan. Might have been tempted to go for shorter shutter speed by using f11 or iso 200 etc. If you were aiming for long shutter speed then go the whole hog and put a polariser on the front and get a real good blur going. Curiously I gather most lenses work best at one stop under their maximum f stop e.g. f19 With the L canon lens the quality is excellent almost irrespective of f value.
Hope you find these comments constructive. I may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick here, so apologies if I have. Best wishes Peter
